摘要：
The applicability of voxel meshes to model the mechanical behavior of woven composites at the mesoscopic scale is studied and compared to consistent Finite Element (FE) meshes. The methods are illustrated by mechanically modeling a Representative Unit Cell (RUC) of a composite made of four layers of glass fiber plain weave fabric embedded in an epoxy matrix. Mesh convergence is studied to determine the minimum element size necessary to obtain a correct yarn volume fraction. The comparison between both methods is based on (i) homogenized macroscopic elastic properties, (ii) local stress fields, and (iii) first damage prediction. Even if a good agreement is obtained for the elastic properties, the stress concentrations due to the steplike shape of voxels induce significant differences between both methods in terms of first damage prediction.
